Growth Analysis and Nutrient Solution Management of a Soil-Less Tomato Crop in a Mediterranean Environment
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Review report
Data Descriptor on Growth Analysis and Nutrient Solution Management of a Soil-Less Tomato Crop in a Mediterranean Environment will provide good information for international readers. This data provides a correct nutrient concentration into the nutrient solution for the production of soil less tomato. Thus, its data set has worthy for publication with some minor revisions.
Keywords need to be revised, like uptake concentration must be replaced by some more appropriate words
Introduction
Moreover, the water available in the coastal zone of Mediterranean is often brackish, thus, its use in vegetable cultivation has to be carefully considered. This need citation and
There are also typos in this sentence like considerd
Daily amount of water required (in grams) to produce the unit of dry matter (also in grams) calculated. I think there is no need to give units here like in grams it may vary with calculations
Methods
Tomato plants (cv Naomi, F1) were grown with a hydroponic system
This sentence needs revision
Please provide citation for the CGR calculation
Authors are advised to include some recent citation from other works related to this work.
Overall this is good piece of work, written well and in concise form
